I kind of hope we get one of these, in this color.

Screw you for judging me.

You’ll probably get upgraded into a Captiva.

I demand an Oppo review if you get one.

Hope you get this instead.

Pretty sure that’s a grape, dude.

I’ll see what I can do.

One of these in this color popped up in my neighborhood recently. I rather like the color, it’s different.

That would be acceptable, but I’d be mildly disappointed.

Every time I rent I get economy and they always upgrade me.

One of the girls near where I live has one of these this colour and has matching purple glasses. At the grocery one day she parked beside me and I told her I dug her style and she asked if I was being sarcastic.

I don’t know what it is about the mirage...but I want one...in purple. :D

Holy cow! That’s very.........um...........colorful!

Probably will get a Nissan Versa.

I used to rent cars regularly for drives to me Air Guard unit. Had to drive through mountains and entire way the car wheezing as it LOST speed climbing them. So annoying.

If this is the next EVO I would buy

They’re really not as bad as everyone says, but it helps if it has a manual.

I would approve of this. In that color.

Can’t see the video but I love grapes.

I really want to drive one of these. I want to take one to autocross for teh lulz.

Another vote for Versa Note. Enjoy... /sarcasm

fhrblig > whoarder is tellurium

NO. The Versa Note is EXECRABLE.

fhrblig > Kanaric
06/04/2015 at 14:09

I hate the Versa Note. HATE it. We will not get one of those.

fhrblig > thebigbossyboss
06/04/2015 at 14:10

Yeah, I never have liked pinkish or purplish colors, but something about the Mirage makes me want it.

fhrblig > Scorpio GTX1
06/04/2015 at 14:10

If we get one from Hertz it’ll have a CVT, unfortunately.

fhrblig > KusabiSensei - Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs

That’s the only color I like it in.

I’ll just leave this here

I love purple cars.

ttyymmnn > fhrblig
06/04/2015 at 14:23

That was.....disturbing.

Scorpio GTX1 > fhrblig
06/04/2015 at 14:43

That’s unfortunate. The only way to make 75hp useable is to keep it keep it high in the revs all the time. A CVT will probably do the opposite.

Don’t get all butthertz over it...

Vicente Esteve > fhrblig

I have immense doubt if I could actually enjoy this. I want to see if by thrashing it I can be happy about its honesty and simplicity.

fhrblig > yamahog
06/04/2015 at 16:27

Then clearly you are correct.

fhrblig > Vicente Esteve
06/04/2015 at 16:29

I am a bit sad that it has a CVT, if any car deserves an outdated 3-speed automatic this is it.

Vicente Esteve > fhrblig
06/04/2015 at 16:30

I don’t know which would be worse.

boxrocket > whoarder is tellurium

Versa Note isn’t so bad. Yes, CVTs are pretty awful, but the cabin isn’t a bad place to be, and the around-view cameras are pretty neat, though a tad useless on such a small vehicle.

whoarder is tellurium > boxrocket
06/05/2015 at 21:05

Hmm, my rental Note did not have said cameras. I do agree that the cabin was alright and I enjoyed that part. Otherwise the handling, steering and drivetrain still suck and could’ve been so much better if they weren’t entirely focused on selling numbers.
